Arizona Petition for Permanent Appointment of Guardian of Minor is a legal document used to seek a court-ordered guardianship of a minor in Arizona. It is a process for adults who wish to act as a legal guardian on behalf of a minor child or children. The petition requires the petitioner (the adult seeking guardianship) to provide information about the minor, the proposed guardian, and the reasons why the guardianship is necessary. The petition must be filed with the court, and the court will review the information provided and make a decision on whether to grant guardianship. There are two types of Arizona Petition for Permanent Appointment of Guardian of Minor: 1.
